"In January of 2010, Chapman signed a six-year deal worth $30.25 million. Cespedes, the source said, could be seeking more than double Chapman’s salary over eight years.

He would be 33 in the final year of his contract. At about $4.5 million for 1.0 fWAR, he would have to average over 1.67 fWAR/year to generate surplus value.
